The requirement for aerodrome certification applies to:
- Any aerodrome that is located within the built-up area of a city or town
- Any land aerodrome that is used by an air operator for the purpose of a scheduled service for the transport of passengers
- Any other aerodrome, where the Minister is of the opinion that it is in the public interest for that aerodrome to meet the requirements necessary for the issuance of an airport certificate because it would further the safe operation of the aerodrome
